Global Manifest Destiny: Growing Your Business in a Borderless Economy

What set this book apart for me was that it is written at a fast pace...quite unlike most business books I read. That means I picked it up one afternoon and read it cover to cover like a gripping novel. Usually, I dip in and out of business books or just read certain chapters. 'Global Manifest Destiny' is full of business-relevant facts, which in part support the main proposition that there is an inevitable coming together of the economies of the world - but which also stand alone as interesting and important statistics.I have promised myself to re-read this book in one month's time just to make doubly sure I retain the key learning. This is essential in my role for JTI. Mine is a global role for a global player. This book helps.

After reading the first book from Caslione Thomas,"Growing Your Business in Emerging Market" , the new book "Global Manifest Destiny" is a logical continuation for a company journey to be successful in the International markets.The book can be also useful to companies that think themselves as global and want to make a reality check of their "Global" capabilities.Although treating a very complex subject Global Manifest Destiny, it remains very practical and with plenty of ideas ready to use.

Global Manifest Destiny: Growing your business in a borderless Economy, is a "wake-up" call for many businesses and companies. South Africa has undergone a huge paradigm shift and the experiences and advise that is shared by the authors of this great book is of particular importance to us. All South and Southern Africa business leaders should read and take note of what the authors have to offer as it is almost as if the authors are at times foreseeing the effect of Global Manifestation on our continent of Africa.

An excellent book for companies that are contemplating expansion into global markets as well as for those already doing business globally. The book helps ensure that all elements impacting how a company does business in markets worldwide are considered and addressed as plans for conducting business globally are developed and implemented. Global Manifest Destiny is a great resource for building a successful gloabl presence.

This is a tremendously powerful and yet practical book that provides a clear and concise roadmap of how all companies- especially small and medium size companies-can successfully transition from just "doing international business" to actually become a true global company doing real global business. I especially appreciated how Caslione & Thomas clearly outlined what needs to be done function by function, department to create a good global company.You must read this book!
